1 SHIMS STAMPINGS MACHINED COMPONENTS

2 The Spirol Concept WE ARE SHORT-RUN PRODUCTION SPECIALISTS Our objective is to provide our customers with the highest quality, short run stamped and machined components, delivered on time, at the lowest price. To achieve this objective, we developed and implemented the following strategies: We acquired state-of-the-art production technology with an aim of eliminating expensive tooling while improving product quality and dimensional consistency. We expanded our internal secondary process capabilities with a focus on shortening lead times, reducing costs and gaining internal control over total quality. We standardized tooling and processes to lower costs and improve response time. We implemented a fully integrated computerized management system of estimating and production control providing real time order tracking and the basis for quick, customer oriented service. We made a total commitment to quality to consistently anticipate and exceed our customers' needs and expectations at the lowest cost. This commitment is supported by a company-wide continuous improvement process Total Quality Management (TQM). Our emphasis is to perform as many functions as possible in-house to reduce external transaction costs, to control quality, to shorten lead time and to pass these benefits on to our customers in the form of lower prices and improved performance. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IS OUR PRIMARY DRIVING FORCE. CHALLENGE US!

3 Capabilities Summary Most operations and services are performed in-house under the direct influence of Spirol s quality system registered to QS We can provide product including prototypes in thicknesses from.0005 and up with quantities ranging from one piece to thousands. We also have numerous qualified subcontractors for special needs outside our capability.

4 Stamping Capabilities Our strength is cost-effective production of short run stampings, complemented with high volume capabilities for select applications when customers require single sourcing. We can deliver product in thicknesses from.0005 and up with quantities ranging from one to thousands. To meet our customer needs of process control, minimal tool investment, long-term part repeatability, prototypes, and low unit cost, we utilize a variety of stamping methods. OPERATIONAL SETUP This method employs the use of standard tools, jigs, fixtures and technical skills to produce low-volume product. It is an excellent way to manufacture special parts, with a minimum or no tool charge, where statistical capability is not a criteria. COMPOUND TOOLING For products with a long life cycle, we recommend one-hit compound tooling to guarantee product quality and repeatability over the life of the tool. With a competitive tool charge, this method offers the lowest unit cost and process control. OD/ID COMBO Over the years, Spirol has accumulated thousands of OD/ID combination tools. We can produce a variety of special washer dimensions, one-hit, without a tool charge, from one piece to thousands. SWAT STAMPING WITHOUT A TOOL This proprietary method is truly the best. We stamp thin metal parts, statistically capable, with one-hit and no burr. There is no tool charge to our customers. It is ideal for dimensional repeatability and low-volume production. TOOLING DESIGN AND PRODUCTION Spirol s die shop produces quality tools utilizing the latest CNC and EDM production technology. We design around a standard module concept to reduce costs and shorten lead time. All components are qualified on state-of-the-art inspection equipment, and we statistically monitor tool wear to guarantee finished product dimensions. We only manufacture tools for internal use so our customers receive top priority.

5 Machining Capabilities Spirol s machining capabilities offer production methods that further eliminate tool cost while improving product quality and consistency. We produce low-volume machined components complete, or we combine stamping and machining operations to reduce total product cost and deliver precision tolerances. We can provide product in thicknesses of.002 and up on quantities from one to thousands. LASER TECHNOLOGY Laser cutting technology is ideal for odd configuration parts, short runs and prototypes. There is minimal setup time. We use state-of-the-art CAD/CAM systems and can accept customer DXF and IGES format drawings. There are no tool costs and CNC controls ensure precise accuracy throughout the entire lot. CNC HIGH SPEED PROFILE CUTTING With cutting speeds up to 30,000 RPM, this process produces precision parts with superior edge quality. When used on laminated shims, there is no separation of laminations from stamping shock and the layers are easy to peel. This process improves product quality and reduces costs there is no tool charge. CNC MACHINING (MILLING) This process expands our capabilities beyond flat thin metals. With 3-axis capability, we can machine the most complex short-run components. Precision tapered shims are produced for airframe applications. VIDEO CMM Utilizing state-of-the-art production equipment requires precise inspection devices. Our Video CMM accepts DXF and IGES drawing files and inspects to accuracies better than.0003 inch.

6 Secondary Operations We control quality, lead time and cost by performing many secondary finishing operations in-house. HEAT TREATING Our statistically capable heat treating process delivers through hardened and case hardened product with precision accuracy and no warpage. We are MIL-H-6875 certified. GRINDING & LAPPING For precision thickness, parallelism and flatness requirements, we utilize several grinding techniques. This eliminates the need to purchase expensive small lots of material and shortens lead time. HIGH SPEED POLISHING Utilizing the latest Super 8 vibratory and tumbling technology, we can micropolish surfaces to an 8 micro finish at the lowest cost. DEBURRING TECHNOLOGY Our capabilities include vibratory finishing, sanders that also apply rust preventative and special handling for delicate parts. Spirol products are burr-free. FINISHING We passivate, chem film and paint many products in-house and have numerous qualified vendors, located close to our facility, that perform special finish services. PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION We use every method there is: Bar code labeling Bag and tag Electro-chemical etching Rubber and metal stamp Inkjet part marking Special packaging EDGE BONDING For multi-thickness/multi-layer shims, we edge bond product for easy peel and reusable shims.

7 Service INTERNET AND EDI COMMUNICATIONS We encourage EDI communications for fast and simplified order entry, shipping notifications and invoicing. We are ready to link to your computer and reduce paperwork. BLANKET ORDERS AND QUOTATIONS Customers get the best price and service with blanket orders because we can plan production to meet your needs. Blanket quotations substantially reduce paperwork both yours and ours.
